The Pacific Railroad Investigating Com
mission is evidently intent on making a
thorough examination of the different
lines. Much of interest regarding the con-
struction of the Central Pacific is being
brought to light. Subsidies were voted and
accepted at a rate per mile which must
have Melted the incorporators a handsome
profit. The coming to Oregon and points
1ur ther East of the Commission is awaited
with interest, and in a short time we will
know all about the construction and cost
of the railroads within our borders.

FoR some time parties living in Field
Township, near Mt Vernon, ILL.,, have
been killing large number OF rattle
snakes by digging down and blasting
the rocks with powder. In this manner
they get at tho snakes, which are
usually very deep in the ground So
far they have killed about 100 at that
place, while many scattering ones are
reported from other places. When
first taken out of the ground they are
very active and have considerable
strength, but after being exposed to
the cold for few minutes become per-
fectly torpid. They range in size from
Ole to six feet, but none have been Sc
cured without breaking of their rattles,
as they always SHOW fight" so it is inn
possible TO say how many they have.
In the eastern part of the county there
is another den, and n short time ago
about fifty were taken out of it. There
is quite a variety found together, in
Guiding rattle, garter, chicken, moe
casin, and other snakes.

will please step forward and peruse the
following from the Tacoma (Oregon)
Ledge: "A man named Jordin while
walking along the Pupallup railroad
hearing train coming behind, turned
quickly around, falling across tho track,
which was on an embankment Half
of his body lay outside of the rails, and
in an instant he would have been cut
in two, but by quick move he threw
his heels in the air, his head and
shoulders lying against the embank-
ment. When the train had passed he
got up and found that the wheels of
the cars had taken the seat of his
brooches out as artistically as a jour
neyman tailor could have done. After
feeling of his limbs and finding them
whole, he got up and walked home"

THE Office Of Oil Inspector is valu-
able one in Minnesota. He gets 20
cents n barrel for inspecting oil. In
1886 there were 81, 796 barrels OF oil in

per barrel, amounting 10 $24,449. OF
this from 81 200 to $4,000 may be de-
Quoted for deputies salaries, leaving
the remainder TO line the pockets of the
inspector. Only 60 barrels we're re-
jected-the oil Of the Pennsylvania Oil
Company, which registered l02 degrees.
During the fiscal year ending July /,
1886, there were Sl,342 barrels in
spected, OF which only 63 were rejected.

Ar Washington during the present

sentative Burns, of Missouri, William
Walter Phelps. of New Jersey, Wilkins,
Of Ohio, Tom Bayne. of Pittsburgh,
and few others have formed coteric,
and are often seen playing three-ball
billiards or pool at one of the promi-
nent rooms. Mr.. Burns is probably the
most expert of the quartet. He learned
Mt home, and knows how to handle the
balls. Like Tom Ochiltree, he nurses
them when AZ billiards, and losses them
around deftly when the game is pool,
He talks much more than does Mr..
Phelps while playing, for the we'll
known New Jerseyman seems little
bored when he is making an exhibition
of himself in pool room. Col. Bayne
is known as good all-aroundthe-table
billiardist, and he enjoys the surround
ings during a contest, and likes the ex-
element when the game is evenly
matched, whereas Mr.. Phelps seems to
wander off in his mind TO Legislation or
the prospects for the Plumed Knight
in 1888 Beriah Wilkins is the latest
addition to the billiard players, but he
is no novice in the art. He chalks his
cue and rattles his contestants with the
guys as familiarity as any professional.
He is very talkatiye, and the boys say
he seems TO think he can play as well
with his tongue as with his cue. j.
Hart Brewer. of New Jersey, the we'll
known potter, who took such promi-
nent part in the tariff discussion in the
Forty Congress, was an habitue
OF the billiard parlors here, and used
10 round up Wilkins frequently. Rob
ertson, Of Kentucky, often sticks his
head into tho billiard rooms. but he
never cared as much for dallying with
the cue and balls "a Senator Beck, who,
but for the work he has TO do and tho
lack of dignity about it, would be about
the billiard rooms much of his time.

their noses at tho suggestion Of playing
billiards. but would drink to excess
and never think il wrong. There is the
greatest abandon among the sixty or

night, they take off their coats and

OPENING for an Architect.

Johnson City needs good architect.
A young man locating here now
would get as much work as he could
do. Our citizens have to send to
Knoxville for plans and specifications
and sometimes have to have the archi-
tects themselves come up here and
superintend the building. There has
been more building done here the
past year than any town Of the same
size in the State, and the prospects
are that this record will be beaten
next year. The COMET would be glad
to correspond with responsible parties
desiring to locate.
